I came across your post when considering whether to listen to the Yes High Vibration Box set - it seemed to me inherently silly to convert 96Khz 24-bit PCM to DSD for the SACDs but your post has assured me that I should give it a listen. I do love Pure DSD, however, especially the many great discs that Telarc put out in the first decade Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654089943325088595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-22256192732028428702013-11-18T09:27:25.395-08:002013-11-18T09:27:25.395-08:00Here is the answer I have received from the MC bet...Here is the answer I have received from the MC beta team :<br />"Native DSD requires ASIO, but ASIO expects 32-bits but native DSD is 1-bit.

The Fc is 90kHz with FIR2 and 85kHz with FIR3, so the lowpass is just *slightly* at a lower frequency.
